KABUKIMONOGATARI: Dandy Tale

How far does one go to help a lost child? In the case of returning narrator Araragi, the answer is too far, across the veil of time. Dutifully (if unknowingly) following up on Hachikujiâ€™s cheeky foreshadowing, he concerns himself with his young lady friend and her fate in this installment of the cult-hit series, heroicallyÂ unable, once again, to find his own way home.

Thus the tale is also, orÂ more so, about the journey itself,Â the dark honeymoon of a trip he takes into the past with the dweller in his shadow, Shinobu.Â Even among a cast that routinelyÂ disrespects chronology with their meta-commentary, she takesÂ the cake, or the donut, by rewinding the clock for a perverse roadÂ movie, one that by and large goes nowhere, spatially.

Itâ€™s Kabuki not as in the theater, but with the characterÂ for â€œtiltâ€â€”as in a slantedÂ attitude toward the world, the posture of a bohemian. Or, perhaps, of a legendary vampire who once sought death, and of a high school senior who once tuned out life doing theirÂ dandy best to attend to anÂ embarrassing wealth of aberrations in a provincial town.
